Runaway championship leader Max Verstappen starts today's British Grand Prix from pole position, as the Dutchman bids to take his eighth win in just ten races so far in 2023.
But Saturday's qualifying session undoubtedly belonged to McLaren. After a difficult start to 2023, several updates to the MCL60 helped Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri qualify second and third, to the delight of everyone in the papaya squad.
The Ferraris and Mercedes line up in team formation behind the McLarens, but it was another torrid day for Sergio Perez, who blamed an unfortunately-timed red flag for his inability to progress beyond Q1, and the under-fire Mexican starts a lowly 15th.
Check out the full confirmed grid below.
